Re: If you are using conventional solid-state amplification, then...

I have to agree with Tom.I'm using Altec Valencias in a DIY active system.The amplification is Kenwood 700C preamp(EchoWars modified),Yamaha B-2 v-fet amp for treble,Kenwood Basic M2 for bass range.All solid-state.
Best sound I've ever heard any where.
I maintain that all the Valencias require is good quality electronics.I've found them fussy though,they have revealed a few well regarded solid-state preamps to be not up to snuff.The source needs to be pretty good also,if the electronics(amps)are sufficiently transparent.
There's no such thing as a free-lunch in hi-fi.The weakest link in the chain can undo a lot of otherwise good purchasing decisions.
